Summary

Tired of small group chaos after Alpha?

In this episode of the Huntley Leadership Podcast, Ron talks with Louis Cain, former staff lead at St. John the Evangelist Parish in Indiana. Together, they break down why small groups often stall—and how Connect Groups provide a structured, scalable, and Spirit-filled next step after Alpha that forms leaders, not just more attendees.

Louis shares the exact pipeline his parish used to grow from chaos to clarity—and how to avoid the biggest mistake leaders make: trying to grow without the right people in place.

We talk about:

- Why your Alpha team determines your Alpha fruit

- The key difference between small groups and connect groups

- How to identify and recruit the right leaders

- The real reason you should move people off your Alpha team

- How to build a structure that survives turnover and messiness

- Why fellowship needs more than pancakes after Mass

Whether you’re running Alpha or just want to disciple more people without burning out, this conversation will help you think bigger, lead better, and structure your parish for real growth.
